Coincidentally this week, FIRE has seen a high incidence of student papers taking aim at their colleges’ speech codes. Azhar had his excellent letter in The Daily Eqyptian chastising Southern Illinois University’s hugely unpopular sexual harassment policy, and we’ve also seen speech codes covered in The Shield at the University of Southern Indiana; The Cavalier Daily at the University of Virginia; and The Wesleyan Argus at Wesleyan University. Erica Perez, meanwhile, noted the demise of San Francisco State University’s free speech zone at California Watch.

Final note: a number of our supporters writing to President Brodhead made a point of saying that they would withhold their alumni donations, as they darn well should. On that note, check out FIRE’s "Give Half For Liberty" campaign, and find out how to make sure that your alma mater is respecting student rights.
